"I know."
Young Aether said it coldly as he stared at Emily's hologram. His expression remained almost unnaturally calm, but his hand was already gripping the Twin Eclipse.
He slowly rose from his position and turned around.
The artificial lights embedded throughout the ceiling flickered several times, their illumination stuttering across the metallic walls before stabilising.
Young Aether's eyes swept across the room.
Five mech-suits stood before him.
Then his gaze dropped toward his own arm.
The head of another mech-suit was still impaled upon the Twin Eclipse. The weapon had driven straight through its jaws and continued through the back of its head.
Blood streamed from the mechanical shell and dripped onto the floor in slow, heavy drops.
"Hah."
Emily's hologram laughed softly.
The projection distorted for a brief moment, breaking apart into fragments of blue-white light before vanishing completely.
Young Aether pulled the Twin Eclipse free.
Tang!
